Hi all

Using a Kali Linux VM on a Retina MBP

If I wifiti I get this.

root@kali:~# wifite

.;' `;,
.;' ,;' `;, `;, WiFite v2 (r85)
.;' ,;' ,;' `;, `;, `;,
:: :: : ( ) : :: :: automated wireless auditor

/ \


[+] scanning for wireless devices...
[!] no wireless interfaces were found.
[!] you need to plug in a wifi device or install drivers.

[+] quitting

where as if I lsusb it picks up the device.

root@kali:~# lsusb
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 203a:fff9
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0bda:8172 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8191SU 802.11n WLAN Adapter
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
root@kali:~#

Also if I iwlist wlan0 scan it shows various routers among other bits.

any ideas gents?

What about the output from ifconfig? Have you tried ifconfig wlan0 up ? Also, have you checked the dmesg?

tried ifconfig wlan0 up and i get nothing. wifite is still the same.

dmesg | tail i get this:

root@kali:~# dmesg | tail

[ 9881.881275] r8712u: register rtl8712_netdev_ops to netdev_ops

ifconfig wlan0 gives me this:

root@kali:~# ifconfig wlan0
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 44:33...

The setting -i for interface selection doesn't seem to work. eg. wifite.py -i wlan1

Im trying to get this completely automated.

./tools/wifite.py -iface wlan1 -all -p 50

or

./tools/wifite.py -i wlan1 -all -p 50

When Wifite starts I still have to select wireless device. wlan1 or wlan0
